Dear Bill,

I have been using a 950 Coolpix Nikon digital camera borrowed from a friend of mine. This is a wonderful camera to take photos of my work and in many ways is far superior to my 35mm camera. With the 950 Nikon, I am able to take great photos of my work indoors without flash. My studio's walls are painted white, and with the windows (one north facing and one south facing), the lighting is shadow-free and glare-free. The only real problem I have is holding the camera absolutely steady. Do you have any suggestions? I use the iPhoto software by U-Lead to edit (crop, adjust size of file, lighting) my photo. I first save the downloaded file as a .tif file. Apparently, this is the best file to save all the information. I can then save another file as a .jpg and do the editing. Again, do you have any suggestions?
